Prepopulate Opportunity Line Item Fields On Creation Page Using URL Parameters
Hello,
I have a requirement when adding Opportunity Line Items to an opportunity to pre-populate some of the fields when the opportunity line item screen opens. I've been looking into this and I came across some posts detailing how certain Salesforce standard pages can have fields pre-populated by providing URL parameters when opening the page.

What I'm not sure of though is if this can be applied when adding opportunity Line Items as the process to do so involves a number of steps.
- Select the opportunity
- Click on Add Business Line Item button
- On this page select the price book if not alreadty selected, or if already selected click on the product to add to the Opportunity
- On the next page that opens, this is the page I need to prepopulate a field on. I presume though lots of other fields/parameters have been set though via the previous steps. The current pageI am on is https://cs17.salesforce.com/oppitm/multilineitem.jsp
Are there parameters I can specifically pass in the URL to this https://cs17.salesforce.com/oppitm/multilineitem.jsp page? I tried to pass parameters as follows
https://cs17.salesforce.com/oppitm/multilineitem.jsp?CF00Ng0000000fk1W01uw000000Vntx8=a2Ng00000004snuEAA but I get an error "Unable to Access Page".
The paraemter I provided "CF00Ng0000000fk1W01uw000000Vntx8" I obtained as the ID of the field I wish to pre-populate.
Should this be possible what I am trying to do, or is pre-population of fields only possible for cerrain Standard pages?
Any help on this would be very much appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.
